There is problem with your Windows explorer. I strongly recommend that you upgrade your
Internet Explorer on your computer by downloading and installing Internet Explorer 8. Make sure you select the right country where you live in and the right OS (Windows like XP or Vista etc).

Uninstall internet explorer 8 and try reinstalling it. If that dont work i would seriously think of doing away with Vista and go buy a Windows 7 upgrade disk.

There are basic issues why its hard for you to open your yahoo messenger. Your internet connection is not stable. The spelling of your user id and password is incorrect. Watch out for Capital letters. For laptop users, the firewall settings is on. These are only basic steps to consider why its hard to connect it.

Yahoo Messenger rely its connection on the internet through Microsoft Internet Explorer. If your internet explorer is out of date better upgrade it.

The best suggestion to improve the connection of your Yahoo Messenger is to upgrade the Internet Explorer of your computer. Compatible to the system software you are currently using. (Example if your operating system is windows vista, Install Internet Explorer 8 for Windows Vista)
After you upgrade your Internet Explorer, uninstall the yahoo messenger on your computer and then reinstall again. After doing this, restart your computer and try to log in. You will surely see the difference.

These are the link files that you will need to upgrade.
1. Internet Exporer 8 - select your operating system and download IE8
2. Yahoo Messenger 10 - download and install this after you remove previous version of yahoo messenger on your computer

(Note: if you are using different web browser, It doesn't matter. Install Internet Explorer 8 and just don't default it as your web browser)

Try this one. you will surely like the outcome.

Please comeback and give me some ratings if your connection is establish.

Thank You for using Fixya.

Flash player should work fine with Windows 7. You do need to have Internet Explorer 8 so, if you have an earlier version, you should upgrade it.

You can download IE 8 fro here:

See this link on HP's web site for a possible solution:

sounds like you have a bug in your browser. run anti virus in safe mode pc doctor works well for free scans

To stop your PC from restarting whenever it encounters a fault: Click Start, Control Panel, open "System", then under the "Advanced" tab select "Settings" in the Startup and Recovery section and uncheck "Automatically restart" under "System Failure". Once that is done you can do a manual windows update and see if there are critical and IE (internet explorer) updates that may cure your internet connection problems. You may also want to run a full system virus scan in Safe Mode to eliminate any viral threats that may be causing the problem, as there are current trojans that are affecting IE and Firefox (probably others) Browsers.
I hope this helps.
